Union College power house

Two men are standing outside a one-story brick building with many windows and a large smokestack in this 5-1/2" x 2-3/4" black and white photograph. Another building is partially visible in the background, and there is a metal boiler on the ground. There are electrical lines coming out of one side of the building. Written on the photograph is: Power House, Smith.

Union College's second powerhouse was built in 1908, after the original powerhouse burned down in 1907. The college began to generate its own electricity in 1894. The date when the college began to rely on electricity from an outside source is unknown.
